ALERT: UBER Ride Share Service Data Breach
The ride-sharing service Uber suffered a data breach a year ago, and the address and email information of 57 million people was stolen. Uber paid off the hackers who then supposedly deleted the data, but that cannot be confirmed.
Watch out for phishing emails related to this Uber data theft, for instance, if you receive an email that says your “Uber account was compromised” and that you need to change your password or anything else related to Uber that could be suspicious.
Never click on a link in an email, always go to the website yourself through your browser’s address bar or a bookmark you have set earlier.
